A missing 15-year-old Pennslyvania girl who vanished three months ago was found safe in Georgia on Monday.
Enci “Aubrey” Wu was found in Jasper, Georgia, after residents recognized her and called authorities. Northampton County District Attorney Stephen Baratta said social service agencies are investigating Wu’s family to determine whether she will return home, according to Lehigh Valley Live.
“We are aware, and we’ve been aware, of numerous allegations with regard to alleged criminal or concerning behavior. On social media, there were allegations discussing human trafficking, and there are references to past relationships and concerns about what present relationships Enci has. But at this point in time, all the allegations are currently under investigation, and we have no comment as to where we are with those,” he said.
Wu vanished from Palmer County, Pennsylvania, on January 10, 2025. Her parents said there were issues in the home — specifically parental restrictions that may have led Wu to run away. Barrata said those restrictions may have been excessive, which is why social services is involved.
“Enci deserves privacy,” he commented.
Officials have not disclosed how she got to Georgia, who she stayed with, and what transpired while she was there. Barratta also claimed that Wu changed her appearance, including lightening her hair, according to WFMZ.
The prosecutor said Wu continued to use social media while missing. Though she remained unaccounted for, the social media posts reportedly led investigators to her.
No criminal charges have been filed. Baratta said an investigation is ongoing.
